I honestly don't think that the ideological capture of the TGA can be denied, it's just that the games that win don't really go against their capture

Idk if e33 is woke but it's has not been deemed "anti-woke" and it's a "jrpg for westerners", why wouldn't they let it win? ¿?
TGAs reveal their capture when they have games that clearly should win or at the very least be nominated, but they aren't because they've been artificially deemed as "for chuds/gooners"

They aren't "rigged" in the monetary sense of big studios buying awards. E33 was at no risk
Nier automata has shown after a decade to be one of the most influential and well regarded games of all times, with people cosplaying it or making games inspired by it as if it had released yesterday

And didn't get even nominated because it was deemed a sexist game

There are moments I get so filled w/ grief’s bottomless bit of hopeless despair that I cry & wail in the shower or into a pillow

There are moments where the grief I cannot tamper where it combusts into rage where all I can do is scream into a pillow until I deplete myself.
It’s all that I’ve lost.
It’s the triggers of all trauma I’ve endured, hitting in new ways sending the messages of being too much & my communication not being understood or understood as a person. It’s the disconnection that comes from having requests not fit into others lives
It’s the having to be prepared for any medical visit to educate new physicians & staff on my illness
It’s the searching for new doctors.
It’s the loss of all the people I love who I no longer have shared experience with or anything in my life worth sharing from their interest.

@jimstewartson I listened to 1A this morning on NPR where they discussed how AI is being used by people as a therapist, or romantic, or fantasy "friend".
It struck me that the race to win the AI race has nothing to do with any normal business motive. This race is to "win"
@jimstewartson the coveted prize of a CIA/Mossad perpetual contract, worth hundreds of billions.
CIA/Mossad first gained unique surveillance capabilities by installing these on every PC, through Microsoft Windows.
Later, they gained unique surveillance/manipulation capabilities by fostering
@jimstewartson Facebook and Twitter and others - we saw the results in the 2016 election where Dem votes were suppressed and MAGA votes were energized.

With AI, they will gain everything they could ever want: surveillance, manipulation, AND emotional servitude. This will give them total

Judge Crenshaw wants to make public his 12/3 ruling discussing the key role Dep AG Todd Blanche’s office played in deciding to prosecute Abrego Garcia. But Crenshaw is giving govt 'til 12/30 to appeal his rulings rejecting govt's atty-client & other privilege claims ...
1/4 Image
Image
Due to a redacting error in a defense brief, we already know that Crenshaw’s 12/3 ruling, still under seal, concluded that Blanche’s associate, Aakash Singh, played “a leading role” in deciding to prosecute Abrego. ...
2/4 Image
In an effort to fend off Abrego’s vindictive prosecution claims, McGuire claimed he alone made the decision, and he was untainted by the vindictive motives attributable to Trump/Blanche. (Just like Halligan claiming that she, not Trump, decided to pursue Comey & James.) ...

Apple Cider Vinegar can lower blood sugar, reduce cravings, and boost fat loss — even if your diet stays the same.

But most people are using it the wrong way…

Here’s how to use it correctly — and why it works (scientifically): 🧵
1. ACV helps reverse insulin resistance.

Insulin resistance is a silent driver of weight gain, fatigue, and chronic illness.

ACV fights it by:
• Activating AMPK
• Slowing carb absorption
• Improving insulin sensitivity
2. It lowers insulin — your fat-storage hormone.

Lower insulin = more fat burning.

Studies show that adding ACV to meals helps reduce fat gain — even if calories stay the same.

Because most of my fellow Europeans haven't had the time nor stamina to fully acquaint themselves with the complete spectrum of insanity that is the current U.S. administration, I've taken it upon myself to offer a brief, honest introduction to its main characters.🧵 Image
Often affectionately referred to as "pure f*cking evil" by her closest friends and by everyone who has ever met, seen, or heard her really, Kristi Noem is the woman Trump tasked with deporting people to Salvadoran concentration camps, after learning that she shot a puppy. Image
Robert F. Kennedy Jr, the former heroin addict and self proclaimed imaginary brain worm survivor that once admitted to having eaten a dead bear he stumbled upon before burying the carcass in New York's Central Park at night, currently serves as the U.S. Secretary of Pestilence. Image

people are making hundreds of thousands per week on polymarket

i make money in a simpler and safer way.

here is a strategy that brought me around ~$251 per hour and five figures in a month starting with ~$1k.

~~~

the real edge is not code, but understanding the mechanics

if you deeply understand the product, you already have an advantage by default.

i have been on polymarket for over a year, and i still see people who do not understand split / merge and literally leave money for others.

and that is exactly where the most stable profit is.Image

the core mechanic: split

split allows you to deposit USDC as collateral and receive the same amount of YES and NO shares on a single market.

essentially:
you are not guessing direction.
you are simply controlling the math.

Couple of things:
1 - BRAVO to this paramedic for speaking out. Let’s hope he doesn’t get punished for doing so (a JUST and SAFE culture simply no longer exists in AB)

2 - nice to see ACA has to respond now, given that AHS has NO input into EMS anymore whatsoever! (I wonder if Dr. Diamond has a clear strategy for this byzantine org yet?)

3 - But let’s examine the govt/ACA “talking points”...

A: “Dedicated ambulances have been added… for transport… between health facilities”, that initiative was begun under Dr. Cowell in 2023, I know as I advocated for it back then!

🇨🇳🚑 CHINA MEDICAL EXPERIENCE:

My sister is in China visiting me for XMAS, so we've come to Shanxi to check out some ancient history.

She never knew she'd need a CT scan, or how simple and cheap the process would be.

A SHORT THREAD ⬇️⬇️ Image
First to set the scene, we are in Shanxi Province, in the city of Datong.

Today we visited some amazing ancient sites, including the hanging temple.

Then my sister fell over.

Since it's so cold and she had her hands in her pockets, she landed right on her face... 😥 Image
Image
Image
After a few hours she started to feel nauseous and wondered if maybe she had a concussion.

I suggested we just go to the hospital and check it out. Easy.

"No way!" was her instant reply. "We can't waste a whole day in hospital — too much to see!"

She was in for a surprise...
